It was surprisingly new inside for the price. Very clean. Could hear people walking upstairs but that is to be expected with most hotels.

Semi decent no frills hotel
It was an ok stay but they were very stingy with the towels. The towels were perfect for a baby but not for adults. Other than that it was ok for the price

Clean, decent size room but very basic, there wasn't even shampoo in the room. Externally looked very sketchy. Super thin walls/floors, could hear everyone else walking around in other rooms. Served the purpose for one night but wouldn't stay there again.

4/10 Fair

Staff and room was good the hotel was hardly book and yet guests were put in the room next door that were loud and rowdy all night that between the guests next door the plastic mattress cover and uncomfortable bed did not make for a good stay. Since the front desk staff left at 11 there was no one to report the guests next door to

2/10 Poor

My ac unit went out and I was staying for 2 weeks. They didn’t give us a fan or change our rooms when they said they would. They wouldn’t even compensate us for the HELL we were staying in. Mind you we’re homeless so we had to stay there.

10/10 Exceptional

It was a good place to sleep. There were no shampoos, or anything in the room. Just a bar of soap. The hall smelled like weed but the room didn't. If you are just looking for a cheap place to lay your head. This is it.

8/10 Very good

Not the worst
It was comfortable enough for the price. Beds had waterproof mattress pads which is good however turning over and moving sounded like I was sleeping on a bread bag. There was a table but no chairs. It seemed freshly painted and newly remodeled but there was an odor throughout the hotel. There was a coffee station in the morning from 7-10 in the lobby but no fresh creamer (only powder packets) and no food. Not even a vending machine. You get what you pay for. We were only looking for a place to sleep after a day of exploring mystic and shopping. The staff was very nice.

While the bathroom and the sheets were clean, the blanket and pillows were stained. I did appreciate that the nonsmoking room was not smoky, and all the staff members were very friendly.
